Facilities Manager

Bouldering Project’s mission is to create fun, inspiring and inclusive climbing, movement, and community spaces. We put human experience and meaningful connection at the center of everything we do. We are quality-obsessed, passionate about creating inclusive spaces, and growth-oriented, driven by the pursuit of better.

The Facilities Manager is responsible for ensuring our facility offers the best possible experience to our visitors. The Facilities Manager holds both the responsibility for first impressions of our space, as well as the long-term satisfaction with the built environment, as an extension of the Bouldering Project brand. This requires hands-on skills, administrative diligence, and relationship management. This position is both an integral part of the team at the gym level, as well as a service provider who strives for excellently maintained spaces. Facilities management at the Bouldering Project facilities is a process of project planning and execution; kind, open, and thorough communication, intricate task management and prioritization; and the maintenance of the environments which hold and inspire the communities of a Bouldering Project gym.
